Offered here for sale has got to be the most documented first generation convertible Camaro on the planet.  The huge binder that accompanies the car is packed full of all documentation, photographs, and related starting from birth and continues to date. A complete provenance.  I did not take pictures of everything as there is so much but will do so for a specific request.  I originally looked at literally hundreds of first generation Camaros searching for this car.  There are many out there but unlike this one few have any legitimate documentation and many have been pieced together from multiple cars and reproduction parts.  Additionally this car was purchased by a Canadian collector, I believe via a Barrett Jackson sale, and I rescued it not only back to the U.S. where a car like this belongs but also back home to within a few miles from where it was originally purchased (see additional info on that below).  The only reason I am selling this fabulous car is my son is now in college and my daughter is a high school senior thus this one has to find a new home to help support the cause. 

In addition to the documentation this car is a special order X-11 code car.  The car was specially-ordered locally in Georgia in 1969 by Judson Whatley for his 24th birthday.  He kept the car for almost 20 years and apparently was extremely anal saving every piece of paper associated with the purchase and his 20 year ownership of the car.  This precedent was continued through the years by others up to and including my period of ownership.  You will not find another car documented to this extreme.

Examples of items in the huge binder include original special order (X-11) paperwork/original Bill of Sale, first gas receipt on purchaser's own street, some kind of original owner's name badge "Judson Whatley, Personnel Division", additional original keys, original Protect-O-Plate and owner's manual, all registration, insurance, and tax related paperwork over the years, original owner's (Judson Whatley) Auto Trader page at time of first sale after 19 years of ownership at 77K miles showing original special order "hockey stick" stripes and other special order options, 1993 restoration and correct-color and only repaint, photos at several car shows to include 1992 Southeastern Nationals, infinite and methodical documentation of any and all repairs to date over the car's life, and everything else one might want to see. 

 I personally added photos of the car in front of the original dealership, located about 20 miles from my home, as well as next to the new retro Camaros.  The third generation family owner of the still in business dealership (Andean Chevrolet in Cumming, Georgia) spent time looking at the car and reviewing the original documentation.  He specifically commented his late Mother's signature on the original Bill of Sale and made a copy of it for himself.  He also provided a hand-written letter on Andean letterhead for the binder as well as some dealership decals and trinkets.  I added some additional pictures to include departure from Canada and arrival back to its original home in Georgia.  Added the GT Parade booklets and photos as well.  Also included is the prior Alberta, Canada plate.

Car still wears it's 1993 restoration repaint which presents very well.  No rust anywhere, no scratches, no dents, just a few very minor nicks touched up in the past with correct match touchup paint.  Car has parade boot, as well as original jack and spare tire.  Body panels including floor pans and trunk are believed to be original. 

The car was featured in a commercial 5 years ago which is still on YouTube at the link below.

Additionally I was told by the prior movie the car was used somehow in the 1991 The Doors movie starring Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan and one of the photos posted shows the car with a camera as part of that use.  The movie is bad and in my fast forward through a rental I did not see it.

Car is driven regularly and can easily be driven anywhere with no concern.  Has been driven in the last two Georgia Tech homecoming parades and the rare and original color Olympic Gold is very similar to the color of the Ramblin' Reck color of the mascot vehicle.  Car can be made available with adequate notice for professional inspection or personal visual inspection. 

$1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction close.  Car is will be also for sale locally shortly and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.  You will not be disappointed!  You will not find a better documented and unmolested original First Generation Camaro plus the unique X-11 code special order features.  If you would like any additional information do not hesitate to contact me via ebay email.  Don

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
